Democrats are now trying to rewrite recent history -- something they tend to do when history paints them in a bad light.
We all know the gov't was shutdown over funding for the border wall. Then, as Trump tried more than once to negotiate for a smaller and smaller amount, Dems saw that as a sign of weakness. They were fighting to prevent Trump from having any success on the border, and they blocked 17 bills to increase CBP & DHS funding for border operations -- even those operations that had nothing to do with the wall.
They claimed Trump "manufactured" the "fake border crisis" to get wall funding. Now, months later, they are blaming Republicans and the Trump administration for the poor facilities and lack of resources -- things that needed more funding and which THE DEMOCRATS blocked.
Rep. Matt Gaetz played a loop of the House Majority Whip being interviewed on CNN in which he laughed when asked if there was a humanitarian crisis at the border. He played that clip to drive home the point that the Dems in congress are lying through their teeth about their previous obstruction for border security and resources to process illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.
Rather than admit they were wrong, one Congressional Dem tried to have the video and audio loop denounced as inappropriate by the chairman, calling it "a teeny soundbite out of context." She was more concerned with protecting the lie than addressing the substance of the clip he played.
